Trick or Treat Graveyard

I don't know what you're doing today...but I'm hangin' out in my craft room making cards in honor of World Card Making Day 2014!

Here's a card I made...



I used the Black Coffin Card for my card base. I love these! They're made from the Black Pearl Shimmering Cardstock. Beautiful shimmer and the paper is thick. The images are from 2 Halloween stamp sets from Crafter's Companion - Best Witches and Trick or Treating. They're so fun to color and create with!

I colored with Spectrum Noir Markers:
Moon - CT1, CT3, CT4
Hat - HB1, HB2, HB3, IG2, IG4, IG6, IG8, IG10
Boots - HB1, HB2, HB3, IG2, IG4, IG6, IG8, IG10, CG1, CT3
Stockings - CT1, CT3, CT4, HB1, HB2, HB3
Edge of grey cardstock - BG3

The tombstones are also Black Pearl Shimmering Cardstock -- sprayed with Grape Jelly Fireworks Spray. I cut them out by hand -- and cut a "shadow piece" from a gray cardstock.

Here's how the Black Pearl Cardstock looks before I added Fireworks Spray:

And after. HELLO!!! Drool !I LOVE how this looks! I can't wait to try this with some stencils!


Alllllrighty friends....I'm getting off here to go make more cards! YAY!

World Card Making Day with A Muse Studio

A Muse Studio has a fun World Card Making Day Challenge on their Facebook Page today.   Make a card using Buttons.

Onyx Button with Onyx Twine brings balance to the bottom of my card.  The new Too Cute to Spook set includes the perfect little haunted house, a fun trio of bats and sentiments are just the right size. There are 20 stamps in this set!!!  YEAH BABY!
 
I made the orange & black striped layer by stamping Onyx Pigment Ink on Orange Cardstock using an image from the Swaky Background set. 

 Can you believe I didn't use ANY glitter on this!
 
Something must be WRONG with me...right? LOL Well...I used PLENTY of other goodies to make up for it :)  I'm LOVIN' the new cardstock.  The clouds are diecut using Pebble Cardstock then lightly sponged Slate Pigment Ink around the edges.  The other really cool paper is the Sleep Hollow Cardstock. The text of Ichabod Crane is printed on vanilla paper. Did I say I LOVE IT?!!

World Card Making Day 2009

Happy WCMD!!

Just a quick post to share what I did today for World Card Making Day. Since I love making cards (yes...shocker!!) it was a must that I make cards today. So I took a road trip and celebrated this big day in Anthem Arizona at Scrapbooks to Remember. They had a wonderful class taught by Kim Hughes, Paper Crafts Magazine "Go-To-Gal."

We made 3 adorable cards using products by Cosmo Cricket, American Crafts, & October afternoon.

I totally enjoyed "taking" a class and not teaching it for a change :)

Now...time to go relax and watch a movie.
